Two practical spin-offs from the development of cryogenic dark matter detectors are presented. One in materials research, the other in biology.

Abstract A significant share of new technology-based ventures exit through trade sale at an early stage firm development. While is important route for entrepreneurs and investors, a potential source innovations technology acquiring firms, we have limited knowledge about the factors that help to effectively achieve sale. We employ unique dataset tracking population research-based spin-offs in No...

We address the closely related phenomena of corporate venturing and spin-offs in the context of organizational economics, for example, agency perspectives and the evolutionary perspective on firms. These perspectives allow us to say something about both the amount and nature of variety creation inside firms. For example, there are strong arguments that firms will tend to produce too few and too...

Spin-tronic memory is a promising technology and offers advantages due to its nonvolatility and higher density. At the same time, based on device properties, there are trade-offs that decide the energy and performance penalty overhead. To decide these trade-offs its it imperative to understand the sensitivity of different parameters in the memory subsystem. In this work, we use a known statisti...

Embora seja fato estilizado que novos spin-offs de empregados apresentem taxas sobrevivência superiores a demais firmas entrantes, literatura respeito do crescimento dessas firmas, além ser escasso, não parece convergir. Utilizando ligação empregado-empregador da Relação Anual Informações Sociais (RAIS) para o período 2006 2015, são identificados e segmentados entre os tipos pulled (oportunidad...

When academic researchers participate in commercialization using for-profit firms there is a potentially costly trade-off – their time and effort are diverted away from academic knowledge creation. This is a form of brain drain on the not-for-profit research sector which may reduce knowledge accumulation and adversely impact long-run economic growth. In this paper, we examine the economic signi...
